Top 5 Favorite Albums:
I could never pick a top five of all-time. It’s just too difficult. For the moment it’s:
Calling Out Of Context – Arthur Russell
Haha Sound – Broadcast
Loveless – My Bloody Valentine
Rifts – Oneohtrix Point Never
Kimono My House – Sparks
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
Well, should I have a kid, I’d start playing it stuff while in my womb. I’d be playing pretty deep stuff…educating my child on music would be very important to me. I think I’d be pretty disappointed if he or she were not of a musical disposition. I think William Basinski’s d|p 4 or John Cage’s 4’33″ would be good starting points.
What band would play at your ideal wedding?
Oh man…Devo, I think. First dance would be Mongoloid, obviously. Insurance would be Animal Collective. Everyone loves AnCo. My mum probably loves AnCo.
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
Hmm. I’m nostalgic for various decades musically – the 60′s for yé-yé and early electronics, the 70′s for Fleetwood Mac and guys like that, the 80′s for italo-disco, the 90′s for shoegaze and grunge. Stylistically I’d say the 90′s, overall.
What’s your favorite venue?
The Luminaire in Kilburn, London. I prefer really intimate shows, and it’s great for that.
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
Well, I fit the typical bill – I’m vegan (one that doesn’t really care about what you eat, though, as long as you respect me), can bake, craft, drink as much as you etc. According to friends I am just like the film stock character ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’ – hipster dudes totally love that, right? Means I have ‘eccentric personality quirks’ and I’m ‘unabashedly girlish’ (the latter is totally true; I wear dresses every day of my life and have a collection of 150+).
What do you look for in a potential hipster husband?
Well, I always like a guy to be taller than me (I’m 5’4′). So they’d have to be taller. Doesn’t matter how much more, just…taller. I’m not into guys that spend tons of time on their appearance – the natural and scruffy look is tons better. Someone into left-wing politics would be good. And loving all kinds of music and being able to talk about it for hours is a given. It’d be nice if he wasn’t too aware of his hipsterdom, either, and wouldn’t try living up to it.

We don’t know about you guys, but summer is by far one of the best seasons ever. Well, as long as you have something to do, besides scratch your balls and play X-Box in your parent’s basement. Some of us are working, some of us are taking classes, but we all have something in common: getting drunk. Here at Hipster Wife Hunting, we’ve decided to lend a hand and tell you what’s good every week, NATIONWIDE. Take a look-see and check out what’s going on in your city this week! Read more…
This pretty much applies to everyone in Williamsburg:
hipster girl on a bike – m4w – 33 (williamsburg)
“You- early twenties (probably), riding down the street on your trendy single gear bike. You have a tattoo of something inane, like a cupcake or some sort of “vintage” something or other; dyed hair, really tight jeans (how do you ride a bike with those things?) a big carabiner jangling off your pocket with more keys on it than my super has and you could possibly need, and a messenger bag that is totally full. Lets have a pbr sometime?”

Dear Audrey,
I consider myself a bro, however I’m oddly attracted to the hipster girl. I very much love being a bro. I love my frat, playing lacrosse, Brooks Brothers, all shitty beers except PBR, duck hunting, The Preakness,and my new investment banking job. Obviously my tastes very much clash with whatever hipsters spend all their time on. But I do admire their cynicism & contrived irreverence, qualities that all the sorority girls I’ve been with have very much lacked.
Despite this obstacle, I’d like to try something different in my dating life; and piss off my mother. I have my eye one particular hipster chick. This girl’s a complete dimepiece and happens to be a hipster. I see her at shows every once and a while. Although she’s sexy as hell, I’ve been reluctant to make a pass on the assumption that my frat game will quickly turn her stomach. Not to sound conceited, but I’ve never really had a hard time with girls. So my question is this: given my short background, what would be the best way to approach this little filly? And second, I pretty sure I could put up with her hipster shenanigans, but can hipster girls put up with preppy ex jocks that love frating out everyone once and a while?
Best regards,
King Bro

Top 5 Favorite Albums:
1) Al Green Gets Next To You –Al Green

5) Woahranoutofroomeverybodysqueeze: Ys –Joanna Newsom / Along the River Strumming –Cotton Jones / Some Loud Thunder –Clap Your Hands Say Yeah / Self Titled — The Velvet Underground
What band would play at your ideal wedding?
Pshh please, Mildred Bailey and her orchestra. I would have Dinah Washington on standby in case Mildred’s no good ex husband (who also happens to play the xylophone in said orchestra) is late but would make sure she knew that she was to sing “When I fall in Love” and none of this nonsense about never being loved and being born to be blue.
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
You say first, I say three: “The Girl from Ipanema,” “Pennies in Heaven,” or “Amazing Grace” because of tradition I guess (these are the songs my Mom and Dad sang to me)
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
I am nostalgic for no decade. Why? Because I am located on the Starship Enterprise, whenever I sense this “nostalgia” you beings speak of I simply skip off to the simulation deck to participate in whatever decade I should please. But probably the 20′s, 60′s, or 70′s.
What’s your favorite venue?
I don’t ask much from my venues. I like most of them but especially Death by Audio or Woods. But you know what I don’t like? People stepping on my face. Stop it. Seriously, I get the music is awesome but I just want to dance and watch people smoke inside–I don’t need any more brawls in my life.
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
I will give you five good reasons:
1) It’s like jazz when I make vegan muffins!
2) High Waisted all the time
3) Looking for a little ukulele/banjo/guitar action? Look under my bed.
4) I almost always match plaid
5) I won’t tell anyone your glasses aren’t real
What do you look for in a potential hipster husband?
I want someone to fall asleep to “This American Life” with (or Radiolab–I am quite multi-cultured afterall), someone who can put up with a lot of schtick/vaudeville re-enactments, and cue the music if I ever need to tap dance out of a conversation. Also please don’t cut me with your beard–again…
What is the most embarrassing song you have stuck in your head right now?
All the food is poisoned! All the food is poisoned!*
*(Youtube it if you wanna get it stuck in your head too)
